[QUOTE="kanga, post: 538503, member: 9270"]If you have a coin graded by one of the major TPGs, you know with a high level of confidence what the grade is. There's no reasonable way I can accurately grade an MS coin from and image. The best I can do is a range. [B][SIZE=3]BUT[/SIZE][/B] If you have a raw coin and want an opinion, that's a reasonable request. Just make sure the images are at least half screen size, well focused and taken in "white" light. I earned what education I have by taking and passing LOTS of tests. I'm not interested in taking any more. If you already know the answer, I'll ignore your question. [U]BUT[/U] I'm willing to venture into the unknown and render opinions on raw coins. Of course that depends upon whether I feel reasonably confident that I CAN grade the coin. Peace dollars are tough. Incised Indian Head gold is tough. I'll generally pass on them.[/QUOTE]
